[Title: Is HaYoo trending again]
Can someone quickly explain in a straightforward way
It’s not some wardrobe malfunction, right?!?!!
I’m a real HaYoo fan, I’d cry so much if it was
-She’s like a trending fairy…
└lololol For real, you can see it when you open Namu Wiki
-Hasn’t it only been a month since her broadcast debut?
└Yes
└It’s only been a month but how many times has she trended;;
-It’s just routine now~ Get used to it~
-Reason: Did something crazy again
└lololololol
└Fact: It’s a fact
└lololololol
-She’ll probably trend for a wardrobe malfunction soon too lol
[Title: Reason Han Yujin is trending]
Han Yujin who won the semi-pro selection tournament… Well everyone knows by now so I won’t explain
And player Kang Yohan… Everyone knows this too so I won’t bother explaining
Han Yujin declared she would help Kang Yohan win
So that’s how the current hottest YouTube video ‘Kang Yohan’s Oldboy’ was born (It’s fun so everyone go watch it)
But people treated it as nonsense
Because Kang Yohan is thirty years old and essentially finished as a gamer
He’s a player who hasn’t even made it to the main tournament of GSL for over 3 years
As a Kang Yohan fan it really pricks my conscience to say this but.. he’s a has-been.. right?ㅠㅠ
About a month has passed since Han Yujin started coaching Kang Yohan like that
And a few hours ago.
Finally Kang Yohan’s skills were revealed on HaYoo’s stream
Fans watched without much expectation but…
The result?
10 consecutive wins in the highest tier..
5 out of the 10 victims were even active pro gamers (Of course Kang Yohan left SUC but he’s still active)
But Han Yujin didn’t expect 10 wins in a row either, so she rashly promised to work part-time at a maid cafe if he got 10 wins
So now she has no choice but to wear a maid outfit soon
I wrote hard so please upvote ^ㅅ^
-Explanation upvote
-Summary upvote
-Very good
-So what happens to Kang Yohan now?
└Um… Simply put, think of it as his chances of passing the preliminaries rising from less than 5% to over 50%
└Wow.. Can a person change that much just from HaYoo’s coaching? Is that possible?
└It’s possible, that’s why he got 10 wins in a row
└It’s really amazing…
-Yeah that’s right but 2 builds Han Yujin made are causing an uproar for being overpowered
└The 111 build for Insect matchups and One Barracks Double for Alien matchups?
└Yeah
-What is HaYoo’s true identity… An alien from the future… Something like that..?
└Whatever the case, if she’s pretty it’s all good
-I really want to marry HaYoo for real
-Han Yujin will get married someday too right..? Whoever marries Han Yujin must have saved a country in their past life, that damn lucky bastard just imagining it makes me angry and jealous and want to stab them
└For real she’s good at supporting her partner, has big breasts, a nice personality, good at games, earns good money
└Bread is better than farming after all~
└You perverts…

-HaYoo hyung I’m really sorry for doubting you
-Wow Han Yujin is really awesome
-Finally tomorrow is the GSL preliminaries?
-What’s Kang Yohan’s Insect matchup build?lol
-Is the Emperor hyung really going to win?
-The reason Han Yujin came from the future.txt
-At this rate HaYoo should be sent to the National Assembly not a broadcasting station
-Another -1 for the bastards who doubted HaYoo again
-I told you not to doubt her? Is that so hard to understand you fucking gallery bastards lololololol
-I’m really curious which team Han Yujin will go to
[Title: Analysis of Han Yujin’s build.txt]

Kang Yohan says: It’s a build Player Han Yujin made for me. She made it specifically to cover my weakness of slow hands… When I used it, I immediately knew it was overpowered.
Han Yujin says: The build name? It’s 111. Because it’s 1 Barracks, 1 Factory, 1 Starport, so 111 build.
Hello gallery bugs
Our Yujin did it again today
Let’s applaud before analyzing
I’ll state the conclusion first
This build is revolutionary
The terrifying thing about 111 is that it “forcibly induces psychological warfare on Insect”
Because Human blocks the main base entrance, from Insect’s perspective the only scouting method is Overlord
So if Human tears up the Overlord with Marines or Wraiths, Insect doesn’t know the opponent’s follow-up build at all
In the end, Insect is forced to produce units or buildings to match all of Human’s possibilities, inevitably wasting resources…
After Insect responds with effort, if Human switches to economy, Insect becomes like a dog chasing chickens
Sigh.. What is Han Yujin’s true identity?
Her build planning is already GOAT level..
Now even I don’t know
I’ve been a hardcore ajae fan watching the GalWar scene for over 10 years but I’ve never seen this type before…
I guess I just have to… suck up to Han Yujin?
Sorry to the haters but it seems you’ll have to live with low spirits for a while ㅋ
Likes: 874 Dislikes: 2
-Han Yujin would have been successful even if she just became a coach
└Look at her face, she would have been successful even as an actress
-Now I can only laugh in disbelief seriously lol
-Is Han Yujin an Insect hater! Why does she only help Alien and Human but kill Insect! Explain yourself, Han Yujin!
└For real, as an Insect user I feel wronged
└Han Yujin is no different from a racist for real
-Ju Sehun should crawl between Han Yujin’s legs right now and beg like a dog to teach him builds
-Honestly I was a HaYoo anti but now I want to be a fan.. As a Human user I’m touched
-Han Yujin you crazy fucking bitch, you made an already overpowered race even more overpowered, as an Insect user I really want to kill you
└Idiot who told you to play Insect ㅋ
-It’s pathetic how the haters can’t even dislike in tears and have to press back wwwww
Looking at my phone, it’s crazy.
People are treating me not as a human but as a fairy or goddess. There’s even a false rumor going around that buying my merchandise improves your fortune, so my merchandise sold out in just one day.
“Ah, this is driving me crazy!”
“Why? Are they praising Yujin-nim again?”
“Yes. At this rate, if I run for office I could even be elected president… Should I try running once?”
Kang Yohan, who was holding the steering wheel, smiled slightly.
I looked out the car window.
December was approaching. The temperature was dropping but fortunately today’s weather was warm.
The wind was cool and the sun was warmer than expected, so when I breathed in it felt refreshing like having mint in my mouth.
Looking in the sun visor mirror in the passenger seat, I saw myself smiling faintly with my eyes curved.
I thought to myself,
I hope this smile lasts until I go to sleep, I thought.
Today was the long-awaited day of the GSL preliminaries.
In other words,
The day Kang Yohan’s life was on the line.
“How’s your condition today?”
Hearing my words, Kang Yohan, who was holding the steering wheel, gently brushed his lips.
“I’m not usually the type to say this but…”
“But?”
“I think I’ll make it. No matter what.”
…What confidence?
Hearing words full of confidence even without basis made me feel at ease.
“Actually, I have a routine for important days. A routine of always eating a triangle kimbap in the morning.”
Hearing that, I let out a light snort.
“That’s a very interesting routine.”
“Yes. But listen to this. Today’s triangle kimbap was a bit different.”
“…How was it different?”
Kang Yohan glanced at my face and looked forward again.
“In my life I’ve never properly opened the triangle kimbap packaging, but today I opened it properly. So I have a good feeling somehow.”
“Pfft!”
It was such a baseless statement that I unintentionally sputtered.
I checked the preliminary bracket on my phone. Kang Yohan was in Group T.
Looking at the opponents, they were all fairly even except for one.
But that one was the problem.
Eo Jaehyun, called the rising star of SUC team that won the Pro League last season.
His race was Alien, and he was a player garnering attention as the industry’s hope, with commentators predominantly predicting he would win a major tournament within 3 years.
I asked,
“You were on the same team as Player Eo Jaehyun, right? Have you played games together?”
“Yes, of course.”
“How was it?”
Kang Yohan smiled awkwardly while looking at me.
“Haha. I never won once.”
“What?!”
“I don’t know about now, but back then I never won once.”
…This is a big problem.
We arrived at the e-sports auxiliary arena in Yongsan I’Park Mall.
Even though Kang Yohan was the one competing, my heart was pumping instead.
“Can you really advance?”
“Now now, Yujin-nim. Don’t worry.”
“Reeeeally, is it possible?”
“Why are you like this. You’re making me nervous too all of a sudden.”
This is driving me crazy. Why am I the one getting nervous?
I opened my mouth again as if to confirm.
“You know to be careful of Reavers, right?”
“Yes, master.”
“Be careful of Carriers too!”
“Of course, teacher.”
“Don’t get overwhelmed by Mutalisks!”
“I got it, Yujin-nim.”
Geez…
I didn’t even give this many reminders on Han Sejun’s college entrance exam day.
It’s like I’ve become an overbearing parent.
Suddenly, screams were heard from across the way. They were Kang Yohan’s fans.
“Yohan hyung! Fighting today!”
“Yohan oppa! Please, really! Win for sure!”
“Hyung! I used a day off to come see you today!”
As Player Kang Yohan’s age was high, his fans’ ages were also high.
It’s understandable.
Ten years is enough time for students to become adults, men to become fathers, and women to become mothers.
It was truly like watching a three-legged race between fans and player, making my heart swell.
The fans even showered Kang Yohan with gifts to encourage him.
Kang Yohan bowed so deeply he could get a herniated disc.
Then, this time the fans cheered looking at me.
“Player Han Yujin, thank you so much!”
“Please make our oppa win!”
“Teacher. Please, I’m begging you.”
Now I’m even being called teacher when it’s not in my fate.
I smiled awkwardly and bowed following Kang Yohan.
And…
Kang Yohan stood in front of the tournament hall door.
I can’t follow him in from here.
All I could do was pray that Kang Yohan would finish well.
“I’ll be going now.”
Kang Yohan smiled and looked down at me. I could see his hand holding the equipment trembling slightly.
I responded with a smile to his smile.
“Have a good match.”
Kang Yohan opened the tournament hall door and went in.
I had a strange feeling standing in front of the door.
…Hmm.
…Fuck.
What is this?
What is this?!
This nauseating feeling like a wife seeing her husband off to work in the morning…
